Abstract: Cet agencement de circuit et ce procédé facilitent le flot direct de données entre des circuits de fabricants et consommateurs (12P, 12C), configurés autrement pour communiquer via un réseau utilisant des adresses (18). Des signaux de synchronisation (46, 56) sont générés pour chaque circuit (12P, 12C) à partir de l'information sur les adresses codée en demandes indiquant la sortie de flots de données par le circuit de fabriquant (12P) que le circuit consommateur (12C) attend. Ces signaux (46, 56) sont ensuite utilisés pour modifier sélectivement la sortie de flots de données par le circuit de fabriquant (12P) selon le format souhaité par le circuit de consommateur (12C). Une telle modification s'effectue, normalement, par insertion des données dans le flot de données lorsque le circuit de consommateur (12C) attend plus de données que celles émises par le circuit de fabriquant (12P) et par l'écartement des données communiquées par le circuit de fabriquant (12P), lorsque le consommateur attend moins de données que celles émises par le circuit de fabriquant (12P).

Abstract: A dimmer circuit for providing AC power from an AC voltage source to an inductive lighting load disposed in series with the dimmer circuit, comprising: a bidirectional semiconductor switch having at least one control electrode provided with a control signal for controlling the amount of power provided to the load, the switch in normal operation being able to be controlled to block voltage in first and second opposite polarity half-cycles of the AC voltage source but in a failure mode being able to block the AC voltage source in only one polarity half-cycle of the AC voltage source and not being able to block the AC voltage source in the second opposite polarity half-cycle; a controller for the switch for determining if said failure mode of the switch occurs which can cause an asymmetry between the half-cycles delivered to the load and thus a DC voltage component to be delivered to the load; a power supply for supplying power to the controller and provided with power across the dimmer circuit; the controller controlling the switch if such failure mode occurs so as to: drive the switch into substantially full conduction during most of the half-cycle which the switch is able to control; and drive the switch into non-conduction for a brief duration of time during that same half-cycle so as to prevent a DC voltage component supplied to the load from exceeding a predetermined level below which excessive transformer heating does not occur, thereby minimizing overheating of the inductive load and enabling the power supply for the controller to be provided with sufficient voltage from the AC voltage source to enable the controller to continue to operate.

IPC: G07F1/04

Abstract: A coin conditioner is provided for cleaning or otherwise conditioning coins in a coin discriminator apparatus prior to transfer to a coin sensor. Coins enter through a feed tray (1302) and move down the length of a perforated tumbler (1314), preferably without the use of gravity, such as under screw force, mechanical or centrifugal force. The spinning tumbler is preferably rotated about its longitudinal axis by a motor (1352). In one embodiment, a blower or vacuum draws or moves air from one area to another, with the air preferably being filtered. As coins move through and down a tumbler, projections such as vanes (1922a), fins, ridges, dimples (1820), spines or other raised features cause mechanical agitation and/or abrasion as coins are lifted and dropped while passing longitudinally through the tumbler. The coins are conditioned and non-coin matter is collected as it is separated and/or abraded from the coin surfaces. Tumbler perforations permit non-coin matter to pass through the perforations into a collection tray or other apparatus and/or are collected into filter media as a result of the air flow. In one embodiment, the air pressure system eliminates or reduces the occurrence of low density or light non-coin matter, such as hair or dust, and prevents these materials from settling or being carried through downstream portions of the coin processing system.

Abstract: A light-emitting apparatus of the present invention maintains an anode electrode 5 at a higher positive electric potential than a cathode electrode 15, applies an electric field to a cold-cathode electron emission source 16 by controlling a gate voltage applied to the cathode electrode 15 with a gate electrode 10, and emits excitation light from a phosphor 6 irradiated by an electron beam released from the cold-cathode electron emission source 16. The light-emitting apparatus of this invention emits the excitation light not only from the opposite side of the electron beam-irradiated surface of the phosphor 6 through a glass substrate 2, but also from the electron beam-irradiated surface of the phosphor 6 by reflecting the excitation light with a gate reflection surface 12 on the gate electrode 10 and emitting it through an unobstructed area Ro of the glass substrate 2. This eliminates the wasted excitation light emitted and absorbed within the apparatus as in the conventional light-emitting apparatuses to thereby improve the luminous efficiency and substantially increase the amount of light emitted outside from the entire illumination surface.
